yeah it's fantastic but I think the brains at Sega must've thought of doing something like this already but there must be reasons as to why they don't want to do it.
Hey Odium you seem to be very passionate about it why don't you email them the videoI'm sure they will be itching to see it. ¬_¬
The guy that made it is some VFX dude that works on rock videos or something.
Besides, this screams what should be done to the franchise, and I can imagine playing a game like this with all the new 3d techno bollocks that seems to be the new bloom would be quite stunning indeed.
But no... Just remake Sonic 1 bosses, make Sonic walk like a twat and give him a homing attack, that will work...

¬_¬ hehe
But I think you might be missing the bigger picture it's like with Street fighter they could have easily jumped back to the Alpha days making anime side scrolling beat em up's which worked. But Capcom ventured forward with crappy 3d iteration after crappy iteration and guess what they finally got it right with Street fighter 4 albeit when they went back to a kinda camera fixed side scrolling style.
But the point is I think Sega know what they are doing just give it time I suppose.
Part of the original Mushroom Hill zone in Sonic and Knuckles was brown like this so it's not just that standard brown desaturated look that a lot of games use.
yeah this looks sweet. shame about that little ray marching section, totally threw me out of the video : ( but made me think it would have looked sweet a little more broad throughout the level.
regardless looks real sweet, and nicely obtainable through UDK.
Anyhow this isnt realtime, but it doesn't seem like anything that couldn't be achieved irt with current engines.
awesomeness thread updates too quickly for any kind of discussion, and actually a lot of the things in there aren't that awesome so I've stopped clicking on it... I'm sure I'm not the only one
Plus everyone knows the real awesome stuff ends up with their own thread anyway!

lmfao In tears, thanks! It's sad that some FX guy:thumbup: made a smarter more enjoyable rendition, Sega when will ye' learn.
Sonic 4 *** looks more like sonic 1 and a half to me.
If you guys are talking about SEGA should stick to their classic version than improvising.
I dont see anything wrong with this...better than the previous version of Sonic where you couldnt touch your controller while the sonic is in mega speed mode.

I dont know about other fans but I do love their classic environment and game style than 3der version. So sticking to that while one creates 3d environment that is a bit dull and not too happy.

Bottom line. I agree with the OT.
That'd be hot.
(I'm not very big on sonic)
Lol at Sonic 4. The gameplay looks identical to the sections of sonic 1,2,3 where you are underwater....and you move really slow...and its really frustrating...and you just want to get to the surface...
Except its like that all the time.
Anyways, The mushroom hill video is an exact representation of what I wish sonic has been doing all along. That franchise has been ran into the ground.
This is fan made, it's a composed video / animation, not a game, unfortunately!
Sega has been contacted by a couple thousands of fans already, and Sega already commented on it:

http://www.sonicstadium.org/blog/2010/08/22/damizean-unveils-the-egg-engine/
its proven it can be done game play wise with this, and its proven above that it can visually look the same!!
Im tempted to get in contact with this guy so I can just work on a fun remake with a good engine!
Man, I was thinking exactly the same when I looked at that WB level. Imagine the fun!
This is gaining the attention from everyone, lol. Even the stadium guys are trying to contact him:

It is what it is......heh ¬_¬
I really would like to play a sonic like this one
*bubble pops*

1 and 2 are the only ones I liked. HMPH.
Actually by far the biggest flaw in the new update to Sonic 4 isnt so much the graphics (which are sub par but hey ho lets ignore that) its the fact the center of gravity on Sonic isn't the middle, its his feet... So when he jumps (into a ball for example) he spins around his FEET, and not directly in the middle of the ball... Which looks retarded...

The mechanics of a traditional sonic game just seem really tired to me now and it will take someone really talented to make the games interesting again.
Unity logo is visable for a split second. So I'd say yes.
I was looking forward to it until I saw a gameplay video of it. It looks like they completely ruined the flow in movement and the physics of it not to mention the new homing attack thing. Maybe it'll feel right when you're actually playing it, but seeing it just looked wrong...
~ Sonic 1 was terrible. Your memory fails you. Sonic 2, however, brought the cosmos into alignment.
